That story is excellent. Favorite part is not knowing Prince had his number...Fallon gets a text that says "He wants to see you," and Fallon knew who "He" was.

Now my question is if he acted like this before he got huge or not, because in a way it seems like a way of making real life happen through the absurd, but I always get the sense that he just got a kick out of doing stuff like that regardless of fame.

If there were a "Greatest Living Musician" award, I'd nominate Bobby McFerrin, I think.

Been studying under him -- an accurate phrase -- for twenty five years.

When Bobby goes Home (as we all do), there will be world-wide mourning, then a global explosion of singing and music, the likes of which the world has never seen. Here's him doing what he did best, with a Prince song.

Today lesson:If you don't already have a will, GET ONE DONE.That's right NO. WILL.This is going to be a cluster. No idea of Minnesota law, but I do know what a disaster it can be if someone of that level of wealth and assets croaks without a least a will.Remember Joe Robbie? If you're familiar with the NFL I don't doubt you do recognize that name. Founder and first owner of the Miami Dolphins, privately financed and built the stadium they still currently call home.Died. No will. Not only did it take years to sort everything out, the IRS absolutely butt-raped the estate, forcing the sale of both the team and stadium. Luckily that was when Blockbuster Video (also now deceased) was at it's peak, so it's honcho bought them.Ironically, Joe Robbie was a lawyer, go figure.

Kevin Smith's epic story about shooting a documentary for Prince is just mind-blowing. Probably the most revealing thing about Prince ever done.

And the reason Smith got away with telling this stuff, he explained in a later special, is that the day he started shooting they handed him a Non Disclosure Agreement to sign. He's like "Sure, I'll do it in a minute..." He put the papers down and never saw them again.

Apparently Prince was extremely pissed off and they tore apart Paisley Park looking for his NDA. But he had never signed one so there was nothing they could do.
